I’m ready to roll out several improvements to our live Avaya IVR and want someone who already knows their way around Avaya Experience Portal / Orchestration Designer and VoiceXML. The system is stable today, but the menu tree is dated and callers are not always routed to the right skill group. Here’s what I need done: • Add the new menu options that I’ll supply (scripts and prompts are finished and approved). • Fine-tune voice-recognition so callers can speak choices naturally; experience with Nuance or the built-in ASR tuning tools will be valuable. • Adjust the call-routing logic so selections flow to the correct queues without the current detours. You’ll receive: – Current IVR application files and design documents. – Access to our dev and test VMs for unit and regression testing. – Final prompt recordings in WAV format. Acceptance criteria: the updated application must deploy cleanly, pass end-to-end test cases for each new path, and show no ASR errors above the baseline during a two-day pilot window. If you’ve led similar Avaya upgrades and can start quickly, let’s talk and lock in a timeline.

Hello, I understand you want to upgrade your Avaya IVR with new menu options, improved voice recognition, and streamlined routing to ensure callers reach the right skill groups. I will work with Avaya Experience Portal and Orchestration Designer, and fine-tune VoiceXML paths so the new options align with your approved prompts, while keeping the current system stable. I’ll wire in your supplied scripts and WAV prompts, validate routing against all queues, and ensure the end-to-end paths pass your pilot tests with minimal ASR variance. Approach: I’ll review the current IVR design and documents, implement the new menu branches, and tune the ASR using your preferred tooling (Nuance or built-in tuning). I’ll adjust the routing logic to remove detours and verify each new path through unit and regression testing on the provided dev/test VMs. I’ll run end-to-end scenarios for the two-day pilot, monitor ASR accuracy, and ensure clean deployment with no regression in existing paths. Key questions for you are included below to ensure I cover all critical angles:Frame a unique question about the project to engage the client, tone should be professional and concise - What specific new menu options and prompts (state/intent) should be added first, and what are their expected call flows? - Which queues must each new option map to, and are there any exceptions or overlap rules? - Do you require persistent user data or context to influence routing across sessions? - Are there any third-pa

Hi there, I’m Shamshad, and I’ve worked extensively with Avaya Experience Portal, Orchestration Designer, and VoiceXML. I understand your IVR needs a fresh menu structure, more accurate routing, and smoother natural language voice selection. I’ll map the new options you provide into the existing flow, optimize ASR tuning with Nuance or the built-in tools, and adjust call-routing so paths go straight to the right queues without detours. I’ll validate changes against your design docs, run unit and regression tests on your dev and test VMs, and ensure the WAV prompts integrate cleanly. The goal is a clean deployment, end-to-end test success for all new paths, and no more ASR errors beyond baseline during a two-day pilot. If you’ve upgraded IVRs before and want quick kickoff, I’m ready to lock in a timeline. What is the target go-live date for the updated IVR, and are there any non-functional constraints (uptime window, rollback plan) I should align with during the two-day pilot? Best regards,

I HAVE A QUESTION: Regarding the ASR tuning, are you currently using the built-in ASR tools, or do you have a specific Nuance engine (like Nuance Recognizer) integrated? This will help determine the best approach for fine-tuning. I understand your requirements for enhancing your existing Avaya IVR system by updating menu options, fine-tuning ASR, and optimizing call-routing logic. With extensive experience in the Avaya ecosystem, including Experience Portal, Orchestration Designer, and VoiceXML, I’m confident I can deliver a solution that meets your goals efficiently and reliably. You mentioned needing someone who has led similar Avaya upgrades, and I fit that description perfectly. One of my recent projects involved a complete overhaul of a legacy Avaya IVR for a financial services client. The system supports: • Migrating complex call flows to Avaya Orchestration Designer 7.x, using VoiceXML and custom Java nodes. • Integrating with Nuance Recognizer 10 for natural language understanding, which significantly reduced misinterpretations. • Re-architecting skill-based routing logic to connect with Avaya Aura Communication Manager, ensuring high routing accuracy. This experience is directly relevant to your project, especially with regard to fine-tuning ASR, adjusting routing logic within Orchestration Designer, and ensuring a seamless deployment with rigorous testing against your acceptance criteria. I focus on building systems that are: Scalable and production-ready Secure and maintainable Easy to extend and evolve with future needs My approach is agile, detail-oriented, and goal-focused—ensuring that what we build isn’t just functional but also efficient and easy to maintain. I am ready to start quickly. Let’s connect and discuss how we can bring your idea to life. Looking forward to it! Best regards, Philip Oyedoyin

Hey there, Is the wrong routing happening inside the Orchestration Designer call flow, or after transfer at the vector or skill-group level? That will decide whether the fix belongs in the VXML app or in the routing handoff. For ASR tuning, are you using Nuance grammars and confidence settings now, or only the built-in recognition flow? That changes whether this is mainly grammar tuning, prompt flow tuning, or both. I’ve worked on IVR updates where the real issue is usually not adding menu nodes, but tightening noinput and nomatch handling, ASR confidence behavior, and transfer logic so callers land in the right queue the first time. I can update the menu tree, wire in your approved WAV prompts, tune the recognition paths, and run clean regression tests across each branch before pilot rollout. Looking forward to discussing more on chat. Best, Vladyslav

Updating that dated Avaya Experience Portal menu tree and fixing the routing detours is a solid move to improve your caller experience. It is great that you already have the WAV prompts and test VMs set up because that makes the whole process much smoother. Ill load your current application files into Orchestration Designer to map the new menu options and integrate your approved scripts. After that ill dive into the VoiceXML to tune the ASR grammars so natural speech is recognized perfectly and routes callers directly to the correct skill groups. Then ill run strict end to end tests on your dev VMs to ensure zero baseline errors before your pilot window. Ill also put together a short text file mapping out the new routing logic for your records. If you need any tweaks or related work down the line I can handle that too so you dont have to go through the hiring process again. Drop me a message and we can get this rolling.

Hi there, I’ve worked extensively on Avaya IVR environments, including Avaya Experience Portal (AEP), Orchestration Designer, and VoiceXML-based call flows, along with ASR tuning and call-routing optimization in production contact center systems. Your requirements align well with my experience improving legacy IVR systems—especially where menu structures, routing logic, and speech recognition accuracy need refinement without disrupting a stable production environment. Here’s how I would approach your project: • Integrate the new menu options directly into the existing VXML/OD call flow while preserving current stability • Update and validate routing logic to ensure correct skill-group distribution and remove inefficient call detours • Tune ASR behavior (Nuance or native AEP ASR) by adjusting grammars, confidence thresholds, and fallback prompts to improve natural speech handling • Conduct end-to-end testing across all new call paths using your dev/test VMs, ensuring clean deployment and zero regression issues • Monitor pilot performance and ASR error rates during the 2-day validation window and make final refinements if needed I can start immediately and would be happy to align on a clear rollout plan and timeline once I review the current call flow structure.
